Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 411: Fighting among States

Next to the central square, there is the most massive building, five stories high, more than 100 meters long and 50 meters wide. This building was built less than ten years ago. It was built specifically for the Congress by Alfonso. The building that was built has become one of the most iconic landmarks in Spain. Of course, it is also one of the most powerful buildings in Spain.

In the Middle East and its majestic buildings, a banquet of dialogue that attracts world attention is now being staged.

Alfonso stood on a podium that had been set up in advance, about ten meters away from the MPs underground. Spain now has the same 17 domestic states, while the number of overseas states has expanded from the original 6 to 9.

They are Western Australia, New Zealand, the Mekong Delta, Palawan, Southern Cameroon plus the New Central African State of Central Africa, Gabon plus the New Gabon State of the North Spanish Congo, Libya, and the Western Pacific Islands. The Western Pacific State, the original Russian territories in the Far East, and the current Spanish territories make up the Far Eastern State, while the enclave on the south bank of the Amur River, the Svalbard Archipelago and Franz Josef Land in Northern Europe are related to Antarctica. , those territories in Latin America are directly under the jurisdiction. Due to the small population, there are no senators in these places.

There is one senator for each state, so there are now 52 senators in the audience. The members of the House of Representatives have been positioned according to the ratio of 4 times 200 people and are distributed according to the proportion of the population of each state. That is, there are still 200 members of the House of Representatives. . [

Other journalists, there are now over 100 journalists from all over the world. They represent their respective newspapers to collect information on today's national situation. This is absolutely unprecedented. If you really want to count it, the moderately reputable media in the world will never exceed this number. The current scene proves the importance of this consultation meeting.

There are also many celebrities in society, such as Picasso, the most famous painter in the world, who has already become one of the iconic figures in Spain. There are also other celebrities and rich people in society. For example, Spain has become famous due to movies during this period. of those people. There are also those nobles and rich people, and of course, ambassadors from various countries are indispensable.

All kinds of things. The number of people in Alfonso's audience now exceeds 2,000. These are the essence of Spain, the real Spanish elite, so today Spain even uses the army to maintain security and security here.

He pressed down with his hand, and followed the movement. The huge Spanish Congress conference room fell silent like this. Very natural. It seemed like it was supposed to be like this, as if Alfonso XIII was a natural king sent by God, and they all couldn't help but surrender to his majesty.

Such a result. Naturally, all the reporters took photos crazily, and the flashlights kept shining. The ambassadors from various countries looked thoughtful, and many of them had an increased understanding of Alfonso XIII's prestige among the people in the country.

"Brother Shaochuan, you and His Majesty Alfonso XIII have great prestige." In a corner, someone was now having a conversation about this.

"Brother Zixin's words are true. No wonder Spain is so prosperous. This is not unreasonable. A country where the citizens and the monarch are dependent on each other, can't live a good life? What a pity for hundreds of years. In the Qing Dynasty, they still couldn't figure out Li Shimin's famous saying of "a boat can carry a boat or capsize it" in governing the country, just like the previous dynasties. In the end, it was still suppressed. Unfortunately, these hundreds of years of rule have indeed failed. Except for the prosperous ages of Kangxi and Qianlong, everything else was causing Chinese civilization to decline, so much so that during the Cixi period, China, one of the most powerful countries in the world, turned into the sick man of East Asia that was the most civilized country in the world. Alas."

"Brother Shaochuan's words have touched the hearts of all Chinese people. This country still needs to develop, otherwise, small Japan will be able to firmly suppress us. When will our majestic big country Only then can China continue to stand among the world's great powers."

The speakers were Gu Weijun, the current Foreign Minister of the Republic of China, and Lu Zhengxiang, the Ambassador to Spain. This time, in order to express his grand congratulations to the King of Spain after his return, Lu Xun sent his right-hand assistant Gu Weijun to Spain. Lu Zhengxiang was also someone Lu Xun trusted, so he became the ambassador directly sent to Spain by Lu Xun shortly after its establishment. position.

Lu Zhengxiang looked around, and then whispered, "It is said that President Yuan Shikai is now working hard to bring Tang Shaoyi, one of his right-hand men, to the Nanjing government. He has been recognized by the Prime Minister and has become the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs. This is obviously coming directly to your position, you have to be careful, it is said that this Tang Shaoyi is not simple."

Gu Weijun smiled nonchalantly and said, "Some things will happen if they should happen. If they shouldn't happen, they won't happen. So, I"

"ok, I get it"

While Gu Weijun, later known as the first diplomat of the Republic of China, and Lu Zhengxiang, known as the first professional diplomat of the Republic of China, were communicating, the question and answer session between the congressman and the king began on the stage that everyone was paying attention to.

"Hello, Your Majesty, I am Stefano, the senator from the state of Barcelona. I would like to ask your Majesty a few questions."

"Excuse me, Mr. Fano." Alfonso made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation, which made many people feel bright, especially when they saw the serious expression of Alfonso XIII. His sincere feelings let everyone know that he was not just pretending.

Fanuo also felt in his heart. After all, for a corporal like the king, he would naturally have the urge to die for his confidant.

Gu Weijun and Lu Zhengxiang in the audience sighed even more.

Fano adjusted his emotions and asked: "Barcelona State has been the second largest city in Spain since ancient times. It even surpassed Madrid to become the largest Spanish city for a while. But now, the people of Barcelona State are They found that they have encountered competition. Now they are not only competing with Madrid for first place, but also for second and third place. Now Barcelona is also beginning to feel the crisis. Among them, the ones with the most wexe to Barcelona status are Western Australia's Pas and Wellington, New Zealand, and of course, Valencia if you want to count.

As for the sudden emergence of Pas and Wellington, which are now the third and fourth largest cities in Spain, the citizens of Barcelona are discussing this. The government may be tilting investment towards those two cities. What do you think? , how did you reply to your people? After all, in their view, it seems that it will take more than ten years to develop the hard-earned land into this state. They suspect that the country has invested all the taxes they paid in the construction."[

Alfangsu gave him a sharp look. If he didn't know the other party's details, he would have suspected that he was engaging in a "split" action.

Alfonso pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said: "Although your question sounds uncomfortable, of course, it's not us. I'm talking about everyone in Western Australia and New Zealand, including the governor. After all, this is It seems to be a complaint, but it is undeniable that you asked this question very well, Fano, which shows that you are very competent at this glance."

After praising Fano, Alfonso glanced at everyone in the audience, fixed on the area with the blue sky and white sun flag, and then turned away, looking at the flags represented one by one. Diplomatic figures of various countries. Finally, it settled on these congressmen in front of me.

Said: "The reason why Fanuo asked a good question is not that the description in his question is so incisive, but that he gave everyone a warning, that is, the answer I want to answer is correct. The importance of Spain in stabilizing the country.

Spain is a rapidly developing country, which is recognized all over the world. The speed of development has led to the current prosperity of Spain. But what many people don’t know is why Spain is developing so fast, even compared to other countries. The economic power of a powerful country will be more than doubled. Diplomatic envoys, please remember to wait and don’t steal the lead.”

"Hahaha" Alfonso's words caused a smile.

"I'll tell you why. It's because Spain has truly entered an era where a hundred flowers bloom. Why do you say that? Because, just like what Fano said just now, why did Paz and Wellington catch up with Barcelona so quickly? This is The best explanation for this is that Spain has now entered into healthy competition. There is competition in various cities and industries. The reason why Pas and Wellington are developing so fast is because of their unique geographical locations. , and Barcelona is somewhat behind the curve. It is precisely for this reason that the industrial upgrading of Barcelona, ​​such as the film industry, is the last way out. After all, the gambling industry and [pornography] industry in Pas have even reached the point where At the forefront of the world, and New Zealand's current shipbuilding industry has also entered the top position in the world, so it is not surprising that Barcelona is being caught up as Fano said, so if other states and cities catch up, they still need to innovate their own industry characteristics. OK"

"Bah bang bang." Alfonso's neat answer made everyone present applaud in return, even the ambassadors from countries such as Britain, Germany, France, the United States, and Russia were no exception. After all, they also learned something from it. They are already anticipating the next question. (To be continued...)
